SANDNES, Norway 25 October 2023 - Horisont Energi (EURONEXT: HRGI) has signed a
Letter of Intent (LOI) with Barents NaturGass AS for a long-term purchase
agreement of up to 100,000 tonnes annually of clean ammonia from Horisont
Energi's and Fertiberia's Barents Blue plant.
Under the LOI the two companies will assess the market opportunities and review
technologies required to develop clean ammonia as an energy source for the
industry in Northern Norway. The companies will also explore the possibilities
of receiving public funding support from Enova, Innovation Norway, or other
relevant funding providers.
"Although the main market for clean ammonia will be on the European continent,
we also intend to serve local demand for clean ammonia with a filling station at
the planned Barents Blue plant. This is the first agreement for local delivery
of clean ammonia in Northern Norway, enabling the build-up of a clean energy
industry and emission-free last-mile transport in the region," says CEO Bjørgulf
Haukelidsæter Eidesen in Horisont Energi.
Barents NaturGass is the leading reseller and distributor of LNG and Liquefied
Biogas in the Barents region, with an interest to expand its product portfolio
into clean ammonia and CO2 capture once this becomes available in the region.
The Barents Blue plant is currently being planned for an annual production level
of 1 million tons, making it Europe's first large-scale clean ammonia plant. The
offtake agreement follows the signing of a joint development agreement between
Horisont Energi and Fertiberia earlier this year. In June, Horisont Energi
secured sufficient power supply for the first stage of the project.
The Barents Blue project has received a conditional grant of NOK 482 million
from Enova, as part of the IPCEI Hydrogen program.
